I accidentally dropped my camera with the lens open and it bent so now the camera cannot close, it just shuts off. My memory card is the issue though. I have put it in 2 other cameras, but I still get the Memory Card Locked error. I cannot seem to unlock it (I have flipped the switch on the side over and over and plugging the camera into the computer with the faulty card produces no response). I can't get to my pictures. What do i do?

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC L27 camera. I have tried unsuccessfully to transfer my pictures from the camera via a USB cord (3 different ones) and have had no problems in the past. It usually goes right into the read/transfer mode. For some reason it is no longer making the connection. I have checked the disk and it is not locked. Everything else on the camera seems to work fine.

Hello,
I have a Lumix Panasonic DMC-FX9 and I turned it on today and the screen reads "THIS MEMORY CARD IS PROTECTED" I cannot take pictures nor can I change the screen. It seems to be locked. Though I didn't lock it but I do have a 3 year old who may have touched the camera.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance,

I have a Nikon D80 and the camera locks up and won't take a picture - the F keeps blinking and it won't lock into a f3.5 or whatever so you can take a pciture - why would this happen ? I generally use it in the auto mode - sometimes I try to switch to manual mode - it will allow me to take a pciture then switch back to auto and it seems to work for awhile - but it will just go back into lockdown mode and it is very frustrating -

Hey, I got a problem with my lumix camera. The keys seem to be locked because there is a lock sign locates down the corner of the screen. I managed to take out the battery and fix it, however it remains the same. Could you help me with that?

On my DMC-LZ7, I have over 700 pictures to download (have a 2GB SC card they are stored on) and when I connect the camera to the computer via a usb cord, the computer locks up when it starts the process of acquiring the pictures; it doesn't seem to matter which program I use, as I have tried both Lumix Simple Viewer and Adobe Photoshop. I have to hold in the power button on my tower to get the machine to power off as it completely locks up all programs and operations. Suggestions?

The battery lid won't lock.. I find the battery puts pressure on it and it pops up.. if i tape the battery down it is OK... it's my wife's .. if it was mine I xan make but to buy another camera seems siily when it seems to be a design issue??

Suddenly I cannot search for images on my camera face.It seems to be stuck on one early photo. I tried to go to " lock " images -no help. also my computer will notprint pictures taken since July 28 or so. The camera worked fine until this AM. Can you also tell me how to delete a pic I don't want recently taken? ( if the other problem gets fixed )thank you so much Mickey Savage in Oregon I am so hoping I have not lost those latest pictures !

You need to remove the battery from the camera for 5 minutes, if that doesn't reset the programming then the camera has failed and you will need to send it in to an repair center, check your user manual for locations. as far as the images go if you c ...

Nikon d80 My camera seems to "lock up" after multiple shoots. When I push the shutter release halfway the in in focus indicator lights up but the shutter will not release. I have to turn the camera off and then back on to proceed. Thanking you in advance for your help. Steve

Similar problem here .. on a D40. I'm suspecting the shutter release button (after looking for lots of dependencies - like AF sensor malfunction, time from power up, auto-off timer settings..) .. since it does fire if I press the button at an angle. ...

I have the Nikon coolpix 710, which was brought in Hong Kong
When I click the play button, to view the pictures on the camera, it shows the last picture and the camera freezes up (not able to view any of the pics only for the last one taken). All buttons seem to be locked, with except for the power button. And even sometime the power button is stubborn and only works when it wants. Would this be a defective item, or...??? so confussed...

Hello David,First thing is "Hong Kong", while your abroad you really need to look at the technologies. Especially from China, you need to make sure if its authentic or if its a fake. Try to remove the battery for 5-20min, at 5 ...
